FEAR THE WALKING DEAD vs THE WALKING DEAD: Thoughts vs Expectations

After seeing the extensive promoting done at San Diego Comic Con 2015 for Fear the Walking Dead (FWD); a very realistic walk-through location outside of the Con depicting the church where we see our very first walker, complete with blood strewn absolutely everywhere to the point I was watching where I stepped and also jumping at every turn for fear a walker would JUMP OUT AND GET ME and winding down with a digital spray paint interactive area that was

Double Take: In which Courtney K and Natali argue SHERLOCK vs ELEMENTARY

During a text conversation with my secret twin sister Natali (@uberdorkgirlie) we started comparing the two most recent television adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes tales. CBS ELEMENTARY and BBC Sherlock specifically.  “What’s the big deal?” you may be asking, WELL the CBS version has gender swapped Watson. That’s right, Watson’s got boobs. Here’s my thing: I like Lucy Liu, she’s spunky, funny, and she can act. But I don’t like a female Watson. I just don’t! I’m all for female

SCANDAL Double Take: Courtney K and Amrie kind-of, sort-of, agree

Courtney K’s Take: “I’m not a baby lawyer. I’m a Gladiator in a suit.” And with that, my eyebrow is raised. That’s a terrific line. Set in the D.C. area, SCANDAL involves a team of those “Gladiators in suits” who deal in backroom negotiations specifically to “solve problems”. Those problems involve everything from kidnapping, murder, sex scandals; you name it. All the unsavory antics of the movers and shakers in the political scene. The members of Olivia Pope & Associates
